far cry 5 japan sales.jpg

There's not much happening in the latest Japanese sales charts. A total lack of new software means that we're left analysing what's already there, and we suppose the biggest news is that Far Cry 5 has broken through 100,000 copies on PlayStation 4. That's not a bad result for Ubisoft.

Elsewhere, Monster Hunter: World is just 600 copies off reaching two million at retail, so that's going to be one of the biggest stories next week.

On the hardware side of things, PS4 sales dropped off. Across both the standard model and the PS4 Pro, Sony's current-gen system only managed to shift around 15,000 units, which is its lowest tally in quite a while.
